Bottle from Dranken Geers. Very deep russet, thick rocky beige head. Some Belgian aroma. Sweetish in mouth. Some dry malt on aroma, a little lactic. Fullish in mouth, very sweet malty, milky. Bit of sting on end. A bit of syrupy alcohol. Reasonably creamy and full in mouth. Not my favourite from this brewery.

Draught Orange beer with slight haze under yellowish head, leaving rings of lace. Citrussy, little point of whtie sugar and just a little spiciness, and a whiff of liqueurish, sweetish alcohol. Sweet, very liqueurish flavour, and despite the quite sweet taste, pretty well-attenuated. Apricots flavour, warming up markedly almondy. Bit spritzy, dry, medium body. Nice variation on the Serafijn tripel (mainly different malts), fairly sweet, but inviting.

Bottled. An amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of fruits, and so is the flavor, leading to a slightly spicy finish. The body is a bit thin.

Bottle from Dranken Geers. Gold/amber with some floaters and big rocky head. Some spice, some syrup, some toffee. Quite an unsubtle syrupy spicy beer, with some jammy syrupy malt/alcohol. Just too syrupy really. Bit disappointing as I liked this brewery at ZBF 08. Not great.

750 ml bottle from John’s Marketplace in Portland, OR. Very dark amber color with a frothy beige head. Aroma resembles an Abt/Quad with some citrus notes. Medium plus body with coarsely creamy carbonation. Flavor is dark fruit, dark caramel and spices like anise and citrus zest. Puts tingle all over my tongue. Finishes freshly dark and mildly bitter. Touches my palate like an Abt/Quad . It’s just delicious.
